Hours for 03/21/13

Running hours: 4 Total hours: 11

Lastnight Thursday, March 21st I did a total of four more hours for the capstone project and am on my way to getting the rest ASAP. Yesterday in the office at her work my mentor, one of her co workers and I put together bags full of goodies and basic cleaning materials that they hand out to their clients on certain days. Inside the bag was basic hygene tools such as a toothbrush, toothpaste, lotion, and other requested items they may have asked for, along with food. Those bags are given out twice a week and I enjoyed making them because you just wouldn't full on know how far a simple gesture can go or actually seeing how something so small can be such an impact on people who don"t have those simple items. They make at least fifty of these bags to take out on the streets with them. They split the deck of goodies and pile them all in a bright orange backpack. The bright colored backpack serves as the outreach counselors identifier of not only how all of there youth clients know them by but also helps the other counselors keep sight of eachothers backs when walking the mission which i actually find quite unique and smart.
